Their Marriage Before tho War.

has finally been decided. The Dejans are Of
an old family in Louisiana, with very small
percentage of negro blood in their veins.
Pierre Dejan was as white Us any Caucasian,
and no one would have imagined that he was
OF negro descent. but his one-sixteenth portion
OF negro blood was sufficient to prevent his
marriage to Caroline Schaeffer a young Ger
man widow with whom he fell in love in 1859
Dejan was in better circumstances than she,
was quite well off. had boon thoroughly eiu-
and the marriage, from this point of view was
an advance and elevation for her, but from the
racial standpoint it was no marriage at all;
and Caroline Schaet1er was. In the eyes OF the
law, Dejan's mistress. 70 quiet their con-
science, however. and satisfy their scruples,
tho Catholic marriage ceremony was per-
formed before their friends, as was done In
many similar cases.
In 1859, however, the couple. who had lived
together as man and wife for eleven years,

whites and blacks were legally married. 1t Is up
on these two marriages that property amount.

1859, before the Justice Of the Peace. ignoring
the previous religious ceremony Of 1858, the
effect of tho decision being. queer as 1t may
seem. to give oil the property to the widow.
and people of mixed blood were quite frequent
before the war, this decision will cause those
who are united by them to hasten and legalize
them by going before Justice of the Peace.
